Devotional and mystical, this collection of poems by Rabindranath Tagore reflects a profound union of beauty and truth. Translated from Bengali, these works earned Tagore the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913, marking him as the first Asian laureate. W. B. Yeats highlighted the blend of high culture and common experience in Tagore's poetry, emphasizing its roots in a tradition where poetry and spirituality intertwine. This volume captures the thoughts of a seer, celebrating both learned and unlearned expressions of emotion.
